Charlie Trotter's produces three daily tasting menus: the Grand Menu, the Vegetable Menu and the Kitchen Table Menu. All are designed to highlight the finest seasonal ingredients available. Chef Trotter prefers his cuisine to be experienced in a progression of petite courses with each course laying the foundation for the next – thus his tasting menu approach.
A network of over 90 purveyors provide the fresh, healthful ingredients which inspire his flavorful masterpieces. From the naturally raised meat and game to the line-caught seafood or organic produce, every component of each dish is the purest available. Indiana bobwhite quail, petite greens from Farmer Jones, heirloom tomatoes from Illinois, North Dakota buffalo and Hawaiian gindai are just a few of the products that may arrive on a daily basis. He says:
"The taste of free-range and organic products is so much better than the alternative. It is also good to know that you are eating unadulterated food and supporting farmers and growers who are directly connected with the land."
Chef Trotter prefers saucing with vegetable juice-based vinaigrettes, light emulsified stocks, and purees as well as delicate broths and herb-infused meat and fish essences.
"Unlike sauces that incorporate a lot of butter or cream, our approach does not mute or block the basic flavors of the ingredients they are meant to support."
It is important to Chef Trotter that diners enjoy a perfectly balanced meal that continues to satisfy afterwards.
"I do not want guests walking out of the restaurant feeling as if they over-indulged because of excessive cream, butter, and alcohol. I want them to feel stimulated and alert, knowing that they will be able to look forward to breakfast the following morning. Food doesn't have to be rich to taste good."

Town hires new fire chief
Date: April 23, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
When a hurricane has set its sights on Longboat Key and is rapidly approaching, there should be no thoughts about what to do once an evacuation order is issued for the island.
"Get out of town," said Richard A. Dickerson, the town's new fire chief. Dickerson served as the incident commander for Sanibel and Captiva islands during Hurricanes Charley in 2004 and Wilma in 2005.
Dickerson, 49, said he saw too many people not take heed when evacuation orders were issued.
And, he said the second most important thing to do, especially for seasonal residents, is to make sure your insurance information is up-to-date and that someone has been appointed to oversee your home and brace it for a storm.
"There were way too many homes in Sanibel that were left unattended, which led to unnecessary damage," Dickerson said.
Dickerson said Hurricane Charley was so tightly wound, or compact, that the hurricane didn't create much storm surge.
But the new fire chief believes that Longboat Key can't hope for a lucky break.
"A slow-moving storm could be extremely deadly for Longboat Key," said Dickerson, who doesn't want residents to be complacent because a storm hasn't impacted the island for years.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis appointed the former Sanibel Fire Rescue Chief to replace Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Julias Halas, who takes over as director of the state fire marshal's office May 1.
"He has a lot of experience," said St. Denis about Dickerson. "He is absolutely the guy to replace Fire Chief Julius Halas."
Dickerson, who served as Sanibel's fire chief from 2000 to 2007, most recently served as a shift leader, emergency-management coordinator and infections-control officer for the Captiva Island Fire District.
The starting salary for Dickerson will be $92,393.60, compared to the $107,681.60 salary that Halas currently receives for the position. Dickerson earned a salary of $106,000 per year as Sanibel's fire chief.
Dickerson, whose first official day is April 27, has 27 years of public-safety experience, beginning as a paramedic in Lee County before moving on to Sanibel as a paramedic in 1979 and, later, fire chief.
His tenure Sanibel's fire chief is similar to his new Longboat Key post. Dickerson oversaw a staff of 28 employees on the slightly smaller island. Dickerson now oversees a staff of 33 employees on Longboat Key.
At the Thursday, April 16 Town Commission regular workshop, Dickerson was introduced to the commission and pledged his commitment to the town.
Dickerson took a moment at the podium to congratulate Halas on his recent promotion and explain his one tie to Longboat Key.
"Hurricane Charley was supposed to hit here, I do remember that," Dickerson said. "But it made a right turn right into my community."
Dickerson said he is looking forward to working with the town's police officers and firefighters, as well as forming close relationships with other departments.
Dickerson's wife, Kim, is the deputy chief of the Lee County emergency-medical services and is responsible for and oversees all facets of the county's 911 response and inter-facility operations.

This visit is a continuation of the school's efforts to bring state and local leaders into the school so that they can see how the school is educating students in a 21st Century learning environment and preparing students for life beyond their high school graduation.
In addition to having Alabama Lt. Go. Kay Ivey, State Treasurer Young Boozer, and EDPA leaders recently tour the school, Gov. Robert Bentley will be at the school on December 19.
"We are in the business of preparing the future workforce of this city. It is incumbent upon us to do all that we can to showcase how we are preparing students for the present and future employers of this region. It is vital, for the future of all of my students, that we showcase Piedmont's progress with the hope that these leaders who are visiting our school will talk about Piedmont when they are recruiting businesses to come to Alabama," stated Adam Clemons, principal of Piedmont High School.
Former Mercedes Benz CEO and EDPA President Bill Taylor applauded the innovation in technology at Piedmont High School that provides students with online instruction that transforms traditional teaching.
"I was most impressed by the courses, especially the multiple language courses they were taking," stated Taylor.
Greg Knighton, an EDPA vice president who accompanied Taylor on the tour, lauded the system's leadership and insight for innovative, school-issued laptop learning.
"It was really super impressive," Knighton said. "To see what had been put together at the school, you realize there had to be a vision and many partnerships among the leadership to make that a reality. They were able to pull a variety of programs together that were very out of the box. For any community that would be impressive but even more so with a smaller, rural community."
Both Taylor and Knighton recommend the system incorporate a three-to-five year regional plan to take the successes at the school to the next level and to sustain and grow the program.
Taylor suggests the school system develop an inclusive, long-term plan that would include business, elected officials and the two-year college systems in the region.
"In addition to hosting elected leaders, candidates, and EPDA leaders, our next phase of showcasing PHS will be have business leaders from the suppliers of our regional businesses to come to Piedmont to see what we are doing and the benefits they would receive if they relocated to our region," stated Clemons.
PHS is recognized throughout the state and nation for their academic innovation and excellence in extra-curricular activities. The school has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School, a National Blue Ribbon School, a Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools Banner School, as well as being recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the second most technology connected school in the nation.
In 2009, under the visionary leadership of Superintendent Matt Akin, PHS became the first school in Alabama to adopt Apple's One-to-One technology initiative. Today, as a result of this vision, every student at PHS is provided with a MacBook Air, takes online courses, can learn up to five different foreign languages, is provided internet connectivity at school and home, and is instructed in a 21st century learning environment.
The school's technology innovation has expanded our curriculum allowing them to now include an array of individualized classes such as robotics, film studies, digital media, digital applications, instrumental music, Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP English Literature, AP English Composition, AP Government, and AP United States History.

Patrol investigating gross sexual imposition by male on female correction officer at state prison
The Columbus Dispatch - February 04, 2013 4:02 PM
The state Highway Patrol's initial investigation into allegations that a male corrections officer assaulted a female corrections officer at a state prison indicates it may involve gross sexual imposition by force, a fourth-degree felony.
Ian M. Quincel, 25, who works at the Corrections Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, was placed on administrative leave with pay last week in connection with the Dec. 16 incident. Quincel was suspended, and the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction first reported the matter to the patrol after The Dispatch made inquiries about the incident last week. Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston said the matter remains under investigation; no charges have been filed.
The initial patrol report does not list Quincel's name or the name of the alleged victim, but says the incident "occured while both of them were on duty."
Prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said the agency also is investigating the "supervisory response" to what happened after the woman reported the incident to her supervisor. Quincel has been with the prison system since December 2007.

One Starfish Rehoming Connections
Our Adoptable Pet List
Click here to see our Happy Tails!
Our Featured Pet...
We took Brewster into our rescue program because he had a broken leg which needed to be repaired by an orthopedic veterinary surgeon. (The surgery was expensive and complicated, but it went well.) Now Brewster is a very happy camper! His leg still doesn't work normally, but our veterinarian is happy with the way it has healed and Brewster is still able to use it a fair amount. He plays and jumps (as you can see in his photos and the video) and he can outrun most of the other dogs at the dog park! We are so happy that we chose to do the right thing for Brewster, but--now that he is healed--he really needs a loving home of his own. Brewster is very, very smart (he already knows "sit"!), and he loves to play "fetch" with a tennis ball or JollyBall. He is cute and fun-loving, he is extremely treat oriented (so he'll be easy to train) and he is eager to please. Brewster is still an adolescent (he's about two years old), so he would benefit from attending dog obedience classes. (Because Brewster is still a kid himself and he is strong and sometimes clumsy, he might inadvertently injure a little person by knocking them over, so he would do best in a family who doesn't have young children.) Brewster plays well with other dogs (of all sizes) at the dog park and at doggie day care, he is fine with cats, and he is very loving and cute! We are guessing that Brewster is probably a mix of Cattle Dog, Smooth Coated Collie and....a mixture of a few other breeds. We think he's the best of all possible worlds! He weighs 55 lbs., so he's just the right size--not too big and not too small. (And don't you just LOVE his ears?) Now that we have invested in saving Brewster's leg, might you be interested in taking him into your heart and your home? He has been neutered, immunized, wormed, and microchipped and he has been waiting way too long now for a home of his own! We would prefer that Brewster not be a latchkey dog, so an adopter who is home much of the time, is retired, or works out of his/her home would work best for him. He would also enjoy a safely fenced yard (please, no invisible fencing) and another dog to play with. If you think that you would be a good fit for Brewster (and that he would be the right dog for you) please e-mail us at: email@example.com and tell us a little about yourself, your other family members, your daily schedule, etc. Then, if we decide you would be a good match for each other, we will e-mail you an adoption application. If, on the other hand, you aren't in a position to adopt Brewster but would like to help us pay off his vet bill, any donation--large or small--would be much appreciated. And, because we are a 501c(3) organization, your donation will be tax deductible. Our PayPal address is: firstname.lastname@example.com and our mailing address is One Starfish Rehoming Connections, PO Box 404, Columbus, Wi. 53925
Who We Are
While our rescue group does usually have a few dogs available for adoption (and we have a soft spot in our hearts for the special medical needs dogs), our main goal is to provide assistance to folks needing help in finding the right dog to adopt. The rescue world is virtually inaccessible to potential adopters who don't have access to a computer and/or are not computer savvy. Even for those who do find their way to Petfinder, dealing with rescues and various shelters can be very confusing and intimidating. Folks who don't understand the basic operational differences between shelters and rescues may not have any idea what questions to ask or what to expect when contacting a rescue and, consequently, they can easily become discouraged in their search. We assist potential adopters by helping them understand how rescues work, what to expect in dealing with rescue groups, and the advantages and disadvantages of working with a rescue vs. a shelter. By networking with other rescues and shelters, we try to help potential adopters find the best pet for their situation and lifestyle. And, for those who don't have access to a computer, we will surf the net for them and then provide them with various leads to follow up on. We also offer suggestions on a number of dog-related subjects, from tips on safely re-homing an animal to advice regarding which dog breed (or breed mixes) might be best for an individual's unique living and family situation. At any given time, our own rescue has a very limited number of available dogs. However, if the animals we presently have available in our foster program don't meet someone's particular needs (or, vice versa) we offer assistance in their search for the perfect dog. Each year millions of dogs must be euthanized in shelters nationwide for the simple reason that there are more dogs bred than there are loving, adoptive homes. Puppy mills, pet shops, and casual breeders--those whose primary goal is making money by selling dogs--are the main reason for this heartbreaking statistic. By helping folks find the right dog to adopt from a rescue or shelter, we are doing our part to save these precious lives, one dog at a time....PLEASE CLICK ON THE GREEN ARROW BELOW TO WATCH A 5 MINUTE VIDEO THAT WE MADE RECENTLY. (BE SURE YOU HAVE THE VOLUME TURNED UP, SO YOU CAN HEAR THE MUSIC.) WE HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THIS ARTISTIC EFFORT THAT WE HAVE MADE ON BEHALF OF ALL THE HOMELESS ANIMALS, AND WE ASK THAT YOU SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FELLOW ANIMAL LOVERS.
What's New
WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU! As the internet has become more popular, "networking" has become an important tool for those involved in animal welfare. The number of rescue groups has grown each year, and rescues are now playing an increasingly important role in sharing the burden that used to be exclusively carried by shelters, humane societies, pounds, and animal control facilities. The good news is that--as a result of the efforts all these rescue groups--more animals' lives are being saved..... But the bad news is--because "rescue" is a fairly new concept--potential adopters often become discouraged and upset because they don't understand the ways in which rescues operate differently than shelters. And, we must admit, many rescue groups--either due to inexperience or rescue "burn-out"--often lack the empathy and patience needed to work with potential adopters and pet owners. We are the first to admit that there is plenty of blame to go around. Unfortunately, each unhappy interaction that ends in disappointment, misunderstanding, or hard feelings results in an animal missing out on an opportunity to find a loving "forever" home. Worse yet, if a disgruntled potential adopter goes away with a negative impression of rescue, that person then tells other people about their negative experience--essentially discouraging others from adopting through rescue. Naturally, not every inquiry will result in an adoption. Sometimes a rescue finds itself in a position of having to say "no" to a potential adopter, if they don't feel it is a good match for all involved. But we feel "rescue" owes it to their animals as well as to each potential adopter to treat everyone with respect, and to recognize that each interaction with a potential adopter is an opportunity for learning and good will. One Starfish Rehoming Connections has been doing rescue work for over ten years now, and we are well aware of the frustrations that rescues experience in their day-to-day dealings with the public. But, we feel that no one has yet offered a forum for pet owners and potential adopters, to share THEIR experiences (both good and bad). We feel strongly that "rescue" should be open to constructive suggestions regarding how we all might work together more effectively, which would--in turn--result in finding good homes for more needy animals. We would like to encourage and promote better understanding and empathy between rescue groups and potential adopters like you. In an effort to achieve this goal, we are in the process of creating a website called "UnderstandingDogRescue. net" We want to include on our website information that will be useful to potential adopters as well as to rescues who want to learn how to work more effectively with public. During this planning stage, we would appreciate your input. We would like to hear your suggestions on such things as: -what information we should include on our new website -what misconceptions about "rescue" you have had in the past (and what misconceptions your friends and acquaintances might have) -what common mistakes are made by rescue groups -how you feel "rescue" in general could improve its working relationship with potential adopters -how rescue might more effectively "spread the word" about adopting (rather than buying from a breeder or pet store) If you would like to help us with this project, please e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com We thank you--in advance--for your suggestions and ideas! (And--although we promise to carefully read and take to heart every e-mail we receive--please let us know if you would like a specific answer to a question or acknowledgment of your e-mail.)
Adopting a friend
Call us overly protective "mother hens", but we are looking for a few near-perfect adoptive homes for our foster dogs. Because all dogs are basically "pack" animals who enjoy spending time with their owner(s)--and because many of our available dogs have a previous history of neglect and/or abuse--we want them to enjoy a lot of quality time with their owners. (In other words, we prefer that they not be "latch key" dogs.) We also prefer that the adoptive family/couple/individual have no young children because most of our dogs are quite small and could easily be inadvertently injured or frightened by a youngster. Finally, we would like our dogs to be adopted by folks who own their own home and have a fenced-in yard. Are we being overly fussy? Perhaps.... But our foster dogs are like our children, and we are willing to wait until what we believe to be the perfect home comes along! If you feel you would qualify to adopt one of our little ones, please e-mail us for an adoption application. (There is, of course, no implied obligation in filling one out.) Prior to adoption, we ask for (and check) references as well as set up a time to visit the potential adopter in his/her own home to discuss the particular dog being considered. Our adoption fees vary somewhat, depending on our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in preparing each animal for adoption. All of our dogs are spayed/ neutered, microchipped, wormed, tested for heartworms, and immunized for rabies, distemper, and bordatella, and our fees normally range between $200 and $250. We might not have the perfect dog that you are looking for in our own rescue program. But, once we have a better idea of your life situation and what kind of a dog you wish to adopt, we would be happy to help connect you with various shelters and other rescues (each of which has somewhat different adoption standards and requirements). Many shelters either don't yet have a Petfinder link or aren't able to keep their postings updated on a daily basis, but we can help you connect with these shelters to determine what dogs they currently have available for adoption. We hope you will give us the opportunity to help you untangle the "web" of various adoption options and to make the necessary connections. We offer this supportive service at no charge to you, and we receive no "incentives" from any shelter or rescue. What we do, we do for the animals, and because we enjoy working with folks in their search to adopt a dog that will fit their individual needs and lifestyle. Puppy mills, pet stores, and backyard breeders--along with unsterilized pets--are the cause of the pet overpopulation problem. Light one candle of hope for these homeless animals by adopting a rescue or shelter dog, and be sure to spay/neuter ALL of your animals!

"of all the cards (and we did find a few we really liked) this one seemed to really get the joy we feel now across. It is a very unique announcement...not like the typical everyday announcements that we have seen. This is the one we are going to get. Now just deciding which photo to use.."
"this is very cute card, however, the picture quality is still not right. we have a high resolution photo, and we love the actual photo, and we even chose to have the photo reviewed by a "professional" at tiny print - but it still came out kinda "funky" - too red, and our son's hair looks funny. i don't really want to send them to people... but i think tiny prints is a good company -"
"The soft colors of the bunny toile is just as precious as it looked on the computer screen. There's no reason a boys birth announcement can't be beautiful! I love my card."
"This format worked well for us, I was able to include photos of family, new baby, baby and big sis. Also, I could customize all the wording. I changed the first line to "So tender and mild..." and then our new son's name. Great way to combine birth announcement and holiday card in one."
"Designing this card was quick and easy. I inserted black and white photos and kept the recommended text. The quality of this product is great! I was very pleased when I received the card. It arrived on time as scheduled."

Following similar protests in San Francisco and Oakland, demonstrators blocked tech shuttle buses in the Great Northwest.
According to a Reuters report, there appear to be guards monitoring at least one stop where a private bus picks up Google employees, in response to recent protests.
The controversial "Google bus" pilot program will go ahead without the environmental review opponents appealed for, but now the tech industry backlash undercurrents at play may only intensify.
San Francisco's transit authority unanimously approves plan requiring shuttle buses to pay fee for stopping at designated areas in the city -- a flashpoint in growing culture clash between geeks and locals.
The tech giant has begun using a catamaran service on a trial basis to transport its employees from San Francisco to its Silicon Valley campus.
NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis has a new $100 million home at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Shuttle's XPC H7 5800 is unique mostly for the fact that it's the smallest system we know of to offer multigraphics card support and Intel Core i7 CPUs. If its options sound gamer-friendly, its price and configuration quirks are decided turn-offs. Unless you demand this particular balance of size and power, we'd look elsewhere.
NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis tells the story of the space program at its new home in the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
We liked Shuttle's original low-cost Linux desktop, but even though the KPC K-4800 adds a DVD drive and a few other upgrades, the price increase takes a toll on its overall value. Regardless of their operating system, too many Windows PCs give you more hardware for the money.

The Virgin Mobile Shuttle is fast, sleek, and affordable, making it one of the most attractive handsets for Virgin Mobile customers.

|How Exercise Can Change Your DNA
|Page 2
|All Pages
Exercise does a lot of good things — it burns calories, helps keep your weight in check and lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Now add one more thing to the list: physical activity can change your DNA.
Unlike the aberrations and genetic mutations caused by carcinogens and toxins, exercise-induced alterations to DNA are more like tune-ups, helping muscles to work better and more efficiently. What's more, these changes occur even after a single 20-minute workout.
Juleen Zierath, a professor of physiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, reports with her colleagues in the journal Cell Metabolism about these very early changes that muscle cells undergo the first time you get off the couch and into the gym. The researchers worked with a group of 14 young men and women who were relatively sedentary, and asked them to work out on an exercise bike that measured their maximum activity levels. The participants also volunteered to give up a little bit of muscle, from their quadriceps, in a relatively painless biopsy procedure performed under local anesthesia. The researchers took the biopsy of muscle cells once before the participants exercised, and again within 20 minutes afterward.
Using the biopsied samples, researchers compared the activity in a series of muscle-related genes before and after exercise. More genes were turned on in the cells taken after the exercise and the participants' DNA showed less methylation, a molecular process in which chemicals called methyl groups settle on the DNA and limit the cell's ability to access, or switch on, certain genes. By controlling how much methylation goes on in certain cells at specific times, the body regulates which genes in the DNA are activated — that's what differentiates the development of an an eye cell, for example, from that of a liver cell.

Assisted Unit Distribution What is Housing Assistance?
The Cheboygan Housing Commission administers both a public housing and Section 8 housing voucher program. The housing authority owns and manages 1 projects which contain 38 affordable rental units. It also administers 120 Section 8 housing vouchers.
According to HUD, Cheboygan Housing Commission is determined to be a Very Small public housing authority, meaning it manages between 1 - 49 public housing units. Also according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the housing authority is designated as Small, meaning it administers 50 - 249 Section 8 vouchers.
Comparing the housing assistance distribution of Cheboygan Housing Commission between Public Housing Units (24%) and Section 8 Housing Vouchers (76%) to that of all housing authorities in Michigan, Cheboygan Housing Commission has a smaller proportion of public housing units than the average housing authority. The housing authority's proportion of Section 8 vouchers under management is larger than the average housing authority in Michigan.Source United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (hud.gov, 2014)

When the Berlin wall was dismantled in 1989 and Stalinist regimes came crashing down, capitalism declared itself victorious. The collapse of Stalinism was used in a global ideological offensive against socialism, which was unjustly equated with that dictatorial, bureaucratic system, to drive through brutal, neo-liberal capitalist policies worldwide. Introducing a special anniversary edition of Socialism Today, PETER TAAFFE looks back at the incredible events of 1989 and their consequences. (from Socialism Today)
Dr. Harry Vinters and Russian historian Lev Lurie reviewed Lenin's records Friday for an annual University of Maryland School of Medicine conference that examines the deaths of famous figures.

UNFPA's Assistant Representative in Georgia, Lela Bakradze, welcomed the adoption of a new National Youth Policy by the Georgian Government on 28 March 2014.
"The policy fully reflects the Government's commitment to ensuring that young people have access to youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services and information," said Bakradze, adding that sexual and reproductive health issues will be integrated both in formal education as well as informal channels such as peer education programmes.
She stressed that the new policy reflects the principles adopted by the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development.
On Saturday, 29 March 2014, 20:00, the Round Garden in Tbilisi will host a traditional celebration of Earth Hour, the world's largest environmental action when millions of people turn off their lights for greener and safer future of the planet.
The celebration in the Round Garden is open to everyone who wants to show their support to Earth Hour in Georgia. Guests will enjoy live music by candle-light and will have a chance to get potted flowers for their gardens and balconies.
The event is organised by the United Nations in Georgia, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia and the Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN).
Khatuna Gogaladze, Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia; Niels Scott, UN Resident Coordinator in Georgia; Nana Janashia, Head of CENN, representatives of the Georgian Government, civil society, international organizations as well as young people and students will attend.
The Government of Georgia and UNICEF evaluate a joint programme of cooperation during an official visit of the UNICEF Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe and CIS to Georgia
4 March, 2014, TBILISI, Georgia. The percentage of children living below the national poverty line increased from 25 per cent in 2011 to 27 per cent in 2013 as social spending was more focused on other groups. Over the last two years, extreme poverty among children has reduced but remains higher than among the rest of the population. Georgia has the second highest rate of inequality in Europe. These are the major highlights while the Government and UNICEF review the situation of children in Georgia.
Under the theme: Equality for Women is Progress for All, the Gender Week inspires everyone – from government, civil society, businesses to students and individual citizens, to have their share in promoting gender parity. The events on 4-14 March 2014 will take place in different regions across Georgia.
In his message for International Women's Day 2014, Niels Scott, Head of the United Nations in Georgia, said:
"United Nations firmly believes that gender equality is a foundation for development. The story of struggle for equality belongs to all who care for human rights. Today we are celebrating Georgia's success in promoting gender equality through legislation and policies. But we also focus on the areas that require further attention to achieve real progress in all aspects of economic, social and political life."
The Gender Week is organized by the United Nations Office in Georgia and the UN agencies –United Nations Development Programme, United Nations Population Fund and UN Women, withing the framework of the UN joint programme "To Enhance Gender Equality in Georgia" through generous support of Swedish International Development Agency (Sida).
The protection and promotion of human rights in Georgia will be guided by the National Strategy and Action Plan. These critical documents were presented on 13 February 2014 at the conference organised by the Government of Georgia with assistance from the European Union, UNDP and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Irakli Garibashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia, Tea Tsulukiani, Minister of Justice of Georgia, Niels Scott, Head of the United Nations in Georgia, and Thomas Hammarberg, EU Special Adviser on Constitutional and Legal Reform and Human Rights in Georgia, addressed the participants at the opening session.
Tamar Chugoshvili, Assistant to the Prime Minister on Human Rights and Gender Equality Issues presented the Action Plan which describes the Government's activities in 2014-2015 in the area of human rights.
This year's World Autism Awareness Day is a chance to celebrate the creative minds of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders, and to renew our pledge to help them realize their great potential.
I treasure my meetings with individuals affected by autism – parents, children, teachers and friends. Their strength is inspiring. They deserve all possible opportunities for education, employment and integration.
To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members.
Education and employment are key. Schools connect children to their communities. Jobs connect adults to their societies. Persons with autism deserve to walk the same path. By including children with different learning abilities in mainstream and specialized schools, we can change attitudes and promote respect. By creating suitable jobs for adults with autism, we integrate them into society.

Thanks for the continued advice and constructive criticism.
Yes, I know how a circuit works. No, I don't need help installing this fixture.
Just had a question about the funky wiring scheme. I've not run across four neutrals of dissimilar metals all wire-nutted together to a light fixture before. That's all. Was stupid of me not to check for juice in these neutrals or turn off the main breaker, (since the neutrals were from separate circuits).
Like the dog who was hit by the car and lived to bark another day, I'll not make that mistake again.
When you run into a "funky" circuit you must assume that proper circuit principles may have been (were probably) violated. There are a couple of things you should do after you make that discovery.
1. Since it is a "funky" circuit it is probably non-standard and nobody here is going to be able to tell you how it is really connected.
2. Given the Situation #1, your only solution is to trace it out or figure it out, and draw it on paper, until you KNOW that you understand it. You MUST verify your paper diagram by measurements and by verifying the sources of the power and neutral wires. You must understand how it works as installed. If you must disassemble a circuit to check it out, you MUST label all wires so you can put it back together.
If you aren't prepared to do #1 and #2, then you shouldn't mess with the circuit.
If you want to just disconnect the black and white wires of an old light fixture and connect the black and white wires of a new fixture, and leave any old errors in place, then you can do that. However, you must realize that if there is a problem and the customer or the insurance company or the fire marshall bring in a licensed electrician they are going to want to know who last worked on the circuit.
I charged $20/hour in 1989, 19 years ago.
No license, no insurance, no credentials to speak of.
Accountant told me back then, "Son, why are you in business?"
I didn't understand that all the money I was bringing in which wasn't much, in the big picture at the end of the year didn't add up to jack squat when the numbers all came together.
To each their own and you control your own destiny, can't argue that.
My insurance for my plumbing company does not allow me to touch anything electrical in regards to anything non-plumbing related.
I can hook up/wire a pump but only connect a dishwasher, disposal or water heater but I cannot touch the light switch in a bathroom, a ceiling fan in a kitchen. Just because there is plumbing in that room doesn't mean I can do all connections, just the ones that pertain to function and necessity involving key components related to plumbing.
That's why there are licensed electricians, not plumbers taking on the electricians job.
People always want the work cheaper when you multi-task in the trades.
That same clientell that will expect you to even work less when there is considerable work involved.
And if you have a callback?
There was no profit margin there to begin with....no harm no foul I suppose.
I abandoned this customer base completely because they expect me not to make a living off them, just help them out for a few 20's and you shouldn't be making that much how dare you cost me money.
I'm paying $3.55/gallon for diesel fuel right now, burn at least $120 of fuel a week.

For me, $20 bucks was the going rate for side jobs in 1974. Wages were $6.
I have a bit of a different perspective on things. I prefer communalism (not communism) over capitalism.
I've lived in little "intentional communities" for years, where all my needs were met and little or no money ever changed hands.
Those places have now gone by the wayside, so I am stuck having to make and spend yukky money.
I live very simply now, so I don't need or want the big bucks.

In my humble opinion, I think that all people would be happier if they lived simpler. People make things harder than they need to be, worry when they don't have to or shouldn't. People work all their lives and then retire and are lost. Well, I think I know why. And, if more people thought about it, they would, too. Their has to be more to living than what I refer to as W & W. Work and Worry. I hear people stating they are worried about this or that and my eyes are wide-open listening in disbelief. I too, live simply. My late husband used to work many many hours a week. We rarely, if ever had a vacation or even, spent enough of time together like I would had liked. I used to worry that he was working too much. He used to worry about " affording our retirement." In short, he lived to the ripe old age of 49. Live simpler, live longer.
Do you two take the same medication as I do? Seriously. For some reason your responses remind me of
that ABC wide world of sports beginning clip where they show the different sports and then comes
agony of defeat when that guy on the skies wipes the **** out knowing he's been shamed for life because they made a point of showing it 4 billion times.
Are you two condoning income levels to just $20 an hour? Because if you are, we're all going to the Dr. Phil show and going get to the bottom of this "free world" antics.
It doesn't exist, personal success is in the eyes of the beholder. That doesn't mean you have to make a lot of money, but surely you can see the optimism above poverty level wages.
Money makes the world turn, literally. If it didn't exist there wouldn't be a functioning society. Little house on the prarie died years ago, no sharing labor from home to home unless you call adultery the labor of love.
Living simple does mean losing the computer/phone/car/tv ahem *flat screen*
ROFL! Been using that avatar in another forum for probably 3 weeks. Beat ya to it!

Got any repairs you did this way two-three years ago? Go look at them. You might change your mind.
I'm not sure about that, because your climate's pretty different, but I've fixed a lot of spackled patches.
Also, if you want fast-drying, look into setting-type joint compound - a.k.a. durabond - available in 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 & 90 minute formulas.
There's also sandable versions - easysand is the best-known - I don't much like it for big fills, because it's not as tough; but for thin coats, it's okay.

Just so everyone's clear: I'm the POODLE in the picture ("french", get it?) The hot woman is my wife.
That is not what I said, Frenchie.
Their are many ways to live simpler which has nothing to do with what one earns hourly. To live a simpler life, not having so much to be angry over, argue over. I live a simpler life that has nothing to do with money or what I earn or what I have. It has to do with more important things. Do you understand?
Personallym I can not stand that vinyl patching "mud." It's just goopy and we don't get along well. Heh I don't know how you couldn't make it not sag on a ceiling.

Available Projects
I think I got some terrible advice... I'm hoping someone will have an easy fix for me!
I am brand new to staining and took on my first project after seeing the work a friend did on her kitchen cabinets. I purchased a gel stain and Minwax water based poly (semi-gloss), at the suggestion of the salesperson at the store. Using a fine grit sandpaper, I sanded the existing finish off of my bathroom cabinets and got started on the stain.
The staining was easy, it went on great with three coats (I waited at least two days between each coat) and I had no issues. Then it came time to apply the poly. The salesman said that I really didn't need to sand again before applying the poly (mistake #1?). As I was applying the first coat, I noticed that it didn't look quite right... It didn't look like it was going on very even and seemed to "separate". Being new to all of this I assumed this was normal and went on to apply three total coats, waiting a day between each (again, not sanding between each, per the salesperson). After the third coat it looked much better and had an even finish to it.
Once the final coat had been dry for two days, I went to put the cabinet doors back on. As I was lining up the doors, my nails brushed against the surface and scratched it right off. What!!!!! I lightly ran my nail across an inconspicuous spot and again, the poly scratched right off with little effort.
I am at a loss. What can I do to fix this? These cabinets are in a high traffic bathroom and will ultimately get scratched to death unless I can get this fixed!
Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Christina L,
First off Minwax is a fine product that I have used and what you are experiencing is a bit unusual. I have used the latex version of the Minwax poly on stairnosing and bullnosing which is subject to foot traffic in our sunken living room. It has stood up well with no marks etc. on it for the last 10 years. So your experience strikes me as being odd.
Minwax makes 2 versions of polyurethane, a solvent based version and a latex version. The difference is in the clean up. The solvent based uses paint thinners for cleaning while the latex uses soap and water. They are also different out of the can with the solvent based being a golden yellowish colour while the latex is milky white. It is the latter version I've used and am familiar with.
As far as how you applied the stain and poly, sanding after staining is not needed, though light sanding between each coats of poly is often used, though not always necessary. It is possible that you did not allow sufficient time for drying between coats because of humidity, etc. or for some reason the first coat failed to bond properly to the stained surface.
I would recommend that you take one of the cabinet doors back to where you bought the Minwax stain and poly and show them your product and ask what they recommend you do. Minwax also has a Toll Free # 800-523-9299 and they also recommend that when you have issues you try their Shop Talk Forum which is at the following link: https://www.minwax.com/bbs/index Supposedly this Forum has many users who offer assistance and recommendations of how to deal with issues like yours and how to correct them. Many who offer assistance are very familiar with the Minwax product line and how best to use them to get the desired results.
Others may have additional suggestions.
Good Luck!
i'm at a loss, the directions say to let it alone for 7 days. do not put rugs on or walk on for 7 days. maybe thats why?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,
simplyme's advice to phone minwax is excellent. I've called them about a problem and got the advice I needed
if the stain was oil-based, it has to be absolutely dry as a bone before you can put a water-based poly over it. I expect Minwax support will tell you to sand off the poly, wait X days, and test-apply again on one door to see if it's fully dry.
what I would have done over oil stain was use oil-based poly. the base resin is usually alkyd polymer, so it will yellow with sunlight. Varathane brand uses a different non-alkyd base, so it yellows with age and sun. Minwax and other brands generally use alkyd, so they tend to a deeper yellow, toward amber, so I'm told in some woodworking blogs and forums.
water-based polyurethane doesn't yellow, but it can form white rings with sitting water. some brands are more resistant, and newer formulations reduce it considerably. it used to be an absolute no-no on horizontal surfaces and wet areas because of this. it is now generally acceptable from the major brands.
oil over water blisters. water over oil comes off.This message has been edited. Last edited by: swschrad,

"We had the best time you could imagine and it was all based on your planning-thank-you so so much!!
Every hotel was located just where we would have wanted-all so lovely and we loved the buffet breakfasts!! The Grace is a beautiful hotel and everyone was very helpful-we could walk to the main areas and Darling Harbor and we just loved being in Sydney-Norm even got in a game of golf!! Every tour was wonderful. We are so glad you switched us from the large bus Blue Mountain tour to the boutique tour-we heard others talk of the Blue Mountain tour in that it was a long drive, crowded and they did not seem to have a great day. We LOVED our boutique tour-we had a super driver (Cliff)who really really tried to find every animal in the wild he could-we saw kangaroos, emu, wombats and even a koala-it was a wonderful day-we got back about 11;30 pm and because of that we saw so many of the nocturnal animals-he was so accommodating-just a great day!!
The Pullman in Cairns was just gorgeous-and we could walk to the water-we had a perfect(calm!!) day on the reef and we loved the trip to the rainforest-all in all a wonderful few days there. Our weather for the whole trip was also perfect!!! How did you do that!!??!!
We thank-you so much, Louise, for helping us-you take full credit for this holiday and we so often spoke of you there "thanks to Louise for another great day" we would say!! Every tour worked out perfectly-the flights were just great and the timing super-and we really felt you listened to what we 'thought ' we wanted to do and you just seemed to know what would be right for us. We packed some Canada pins and tee shirts and gave them to our tour drivers and they seemed to love that!!
We came home happy and relaxed and so thankful-I will send you a few pictures for certain.

"Thank you for all your help arranging a wonderful Australian tour for us. There was a lot of anxiety/reservation arranging a tour on line, not meeting the other person on the other line but it all ended well and we had a fantastic experience. Please thank also Ruby for us for arranging our domestic flights. The two of you did a very good job in coordinating/planning everything.
For sure I will use you again in our next trip which will be in September. We would like to go to St. Petersburg, Malta and Sicily.
Again, thank you!

"This was our third long haul vacation with Kensington and was truly fantastic trip, probably the best to date. The balance with adventures and activities in New Zealand followed by a restfull couple of days in Bora Bora was just right. I cannot say enough about the local support team who were following up to adjust our schedule following the earthquake in Christchurch right into the evening of Christmas Eve, all changes were made efficiently with the addedd bonus of being able to do a wilderness jet boat tour outside of Queeenstown with our extra day. Many thanks for all you help - we will not hesitate to use Kensington for our future travel adventures

"It was a great trip. The Medina was great, centrally located and helpful staff. We enjoyed Christmas Mass at the Cathedral with the Cardinal celebrating and the famed boys choir singing. The dinner cruise was fine despite the rain. The driver's tip about the ferries, being a good way to see more of the harbour without great expense was a good one. We especially enjoyed the tour to the Blue Mountains, wonderful lunch at the quaint lodge, and Fetherdale Wild life Sanctuary (fantastic). The accommodations at Uluru were fine and the activities were great, especially the camel ride. We loved the resort at Kewarra. Wonderful service and accommodations and grounds. We spotted a mama and baby Wallabee living in the jungle just outside the suite! We ended up booking 2 days of diving and also a tour of Mossman and Daintree. Wonderful trip. The food was great everywhere but extremely expensive! The locals were always polite and helpful and often amusing! Thanks for all your help! Laura"

Photographs - 7 of 10
Gustave Le Gray
French, 1820-1882
Standing Female Nude
c. 1855
Albumen print from wet-collodion-on-glass negative
29.5 x 21.9 cm
Acquired by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1998
Drawings of nude models played an increasingly important role in art academies and artists' studios in the late nineteenth century. Starting in the 1850s, photographic studies of the nude began to circulate privately and commercially. One of the greatest technical and artistic masters of early French photography, Gustave Le Gray was himself trained as a painter. While he worked in a wide variety of genres, specializing in marine subjects and landscapes, the nude was for Le Gray a subject of the utmost rarity; only three other nude studies by the photographer are known.

This may come as a terrible shock to certain school officials in Berks County, but some high school students have been known to (gasp) have sex with each other.
Even more shocking is the claim in a lawsuit that it is (gasp, agonized hand-wringing) legal if the students are around the same age and the sex is consensual and done in private.
Parents, preachers and others may advise against it, but such sex is none of a school official's business, unless, of course, it happens in school right in front of everybody and thus disrupts the educational process.
There are some things that should concern school officials, such as bullying or other behaviors designed to torment and abuse other students.
It seems, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Philadelphia, that officials of the Schuylkill Valley School District, located west of Fleetwood, got it backward.
The lawsuit said Anders Hendal and his girlfriend of two years, both 16, joined their classmates last April on a 10-day trip to Spain and Morocco, which was paid for by their families.
On the final night of the trip, the lawsuit said, another student found a way, using a cellphone, to secretly tape what they were doing in a Casablanca hotel room. After they were back in school in Berks County, it said, the creep spread the videotape of the romantic encounter around the school.
That was followed by taunting, harassment and bullying from other students, and Hendal and the girl consulted their parents. Hendal, by the way, is a straight-A student and multisport athlete, and was on student council. His father is a former school board member and mayor of Leesport.
Both families went to school officials to see if something could be done about the harassment and bullying. Instead, the officials slapped both students with four-day suspensions, even though their sexual liaison did not violate any school rules. The creep who surreptitiously videotaped them also was suspended for four days.
The lawsuit noted that the school's code of conduct prohibits sex only on school property, not in Casablanca, and Pennsylvania law says consensual sex between consenting minors is not illegal if they're within four years of age of each other.
Nobody is saying teen sex is a good idea; it's just that it's not illegal, and the lawsuit said the school had no justification whatsoever for the suspensions.
To make matters worse, the lawsuit said, school officials spread word around to school staff members about the episode, mentioning Hendal and the girl by name.
"This was an egregious invasion of privacy," Hendal's lawyer, Eric Winter of Bechtelsville, was quoted as saying.
Winter, according to various news media reports, compared what happened to Hendal and his girlfriend (they have since split up) to a tragic case in 2010 in New Jersey.
Tyler Clementi, 18, a freshman at Rutgers University, apparently jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his privacy also was invaded by other students.
Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, both also 18, secretly placed a camera in a room to catch Clementi having sex with another young man. Ravi had to spend only 20 days in jail for his conviction and Wei got off by testifying against Ravi. That is less than three weeks for the malicious destruction of another young person's life by creeps who did it just for kicks.
At Schuylkill Valley, the cruelty of other students was compounded by school officials who are supposed to protect their students, even if they engage in behavior in Casablanca that upsets school officials. (If you feel 16 is too young for love, keep in mind that Romeo's Juliet was 13.)
The pious officials of that school district may find this hard to believe, but there was sex going on even when I was in high school back in the 1950s — not nearly as much as I would have liked at the time, but some.
We did not have cellphones or other devices to facilitate peeping into people's behavior in private, so it was harder to torment them, but we did have class trips and we engaged in some of the mischief that sudden freedom often generates.
Our senior class trip was to Washington, D.C., and one of my pals dressed up as a girl with a wig, lipstick and falsies and loitered in a hotel hallway until the house detective came along. Then he dashed back into our room, occupied only by several members of the male half of the senior class. Once inside, he tore off the wig, etc., and joined the rest of us acting as innocent as lambs.
The house dick stormed into the room and nearly went nuts looking for the girl. I'm not saying it was a very nice thing to do, but we thought it was fun.
What happened to Clementi and the two young people from Berks County was not fun. It was vicious and criminal, and the behavior of the school officials at Schuylkill Valley, if the lawsuit's claims turn out to be valid, was just as bad.
The clear message those officials disseminated is this: If you get bullied in school by some creep who managed to invade your privacy to take pictures of you, and then set out to run around in school showing everybody the pictures, school officials should be the last people you consult.
They will only try to harm you further. At least that's the way it seems to be working out in one Berks County school district.

DOT chief touts Louisiana highway on bus tour
By Keith Laing
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx touted on Friday a highway project in Shreveport, La., that has received $42 million from the federal government as example of why Congress should approve a new transportation funding bill.
The highway, a 10-mile extension of U.S. Interstate 49, is scheduled to open in May.
Foxx said in a blog post on the Department of Transportation's website that the Louisiana project was an example of types of infrastructure projects that could be completed if Congress were to approve a new round of transportation funding this summer.
"By 2020, 37,000 vehicles will travel this highway every day, reducing traffic on other roads," Foxx wrote about the I-49 extension.
The current transportation funding bill is scheduled to expire in September.
